Access vs. Success
I have a student who speaks with a definite compensation for stuttering. He has done well so far in his program, but approached me the other day requesting accommodation due to a learning disability. He stated he was not doing well in school this module. I am hoping I was correct in advising him to seek documentation and assessment from a professional regarding his disability. Is this a good example of access vs. success?
Denise,
I don't know about the access versus success, but it certainly was an appropriate referral. If the student believes he is having difficulty because of disability-related problems, the sooner those problems can be documented and defined, the sooner it will be possible to explore support that may help.
